EVE New Citizens Q&A

Got my first taste of PVP made sure to be recording whole time just in case i got one shot but unfortunately you won't
get to see my death in this one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROyzxjWJkoc

Looks like my corp has had war declared on us, no choice but to pvp now

Great videos! I'm just coming back to Eve after a long time away. Your videos definitely have helped me get re-acclimated.

So I have decided that PVP is by far the most fun I have had in Eve Online

Nice videos! I wish I'd had a resource like this during my first days in EVE, it would have helped immeasurably. I don't think I was anywhere near as smart as you when I was new, though.

J'Poll, don't start on the carebear hate.

Just watched the first video and subscribed. And I'm not sure who this Dagan guy is but it's nice for the forum members to give me a heads up. :)

Tip: Build your own cap charges. They are a PITA to move around as they are so large, but the BPO and minerals to make them are a LOT smaller, plus you may not even have to move the minerals - see below.

1. Buy a cap charge BPO. They are cheap. You don't even have to research it, though you can also buy researched BPO (sometimes in sets) from contracts. [Contact me if you want one researched.]

2. Train Industry level 1 (you probably already have it). You don't have to train anything else. It takes under 2 minutes to manufacture 10x cap 800 charges, so you can even make more while doing a mission.

3. Remember all those junk module and ammo drops you get? Stuff that sells for under 100k ISK. Reprocess it, and use the minerals to make cap charges! With luck, the station you call home will have manufacturing lines, but if not some station in system probably will.

4. Profit! Even without researching the BPO, and without training for efficient manufacturing (Production Efficiency & Reprocessing skills), you will probably save ISK, and it will be more convenient then hauling charges around.

You may even find you can sell extras to other missioners.

Also, ignore the descriptions on destroyers about weak defenses. They are not. They also have a lot of firepower, which is another form of tanking: kill them before they kill you.

Enjoyed watching your videos. You really 'get' EVE, and I think have a very promising future in the game, best of luck on your journey

Edit:

You know you actually made that first pvp kill possible, if you had not got tackle on him he would have killed your friend and switched to you, probably killing you. You managed to get under his guns most likely, even though you got neuted it meant he was able to rep back up some armor when he switched to you, so even though you had to warp out he could get in range to get his tackle (web + scram) on him

So gave scanning a go but so far i've had literally no luck with it but I have high hopes
